After many years of seemingly doing nothing but growing bigger, my Paph. Berenice is finally blooming--well, at least the label says it's Berenice (if it appears to be something else, I'd appreciate someone kindly offering a correction).
I do have a question for anyone who's interested and/or able to provide an answer. Are the leaves of alba plants supposed to lack pigment, or just the flowers? I've seen pictures of other Berenice plants online, and they all have darker leaves than this one. I feed it regularly during the growing season, it gets good light and RO water, and it's producing numerous new growths and has a strong root system. But the light-colored leaves make me wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
